Gary -
The documentation on 'livecd-iso-to-disk' is pretty thin.
My main [first?] question is once I create such a USB-stick
image, how do I boot it? Do I have to have a machine with
a BIOS that understands such?
In a word, yes. Typically, you could set up the BIOS to
attempt to boot from the USB first, then the CDROM, then
the harddisk.
HTH.
